Together with the issues on climate change and other environmental concerns, details about the LGU's PILI planting program was tackled. It should be noted that the said program was put in place as an alternative job or means of livelihood for the illegal loggers apprehended in the watershed area. As of today, some 65,000 pili trees have been planted in the area.

Honorable Mayor Mel Sarmiento : you have done an amazing job transforming Calbayog City to what it is today and we thank you for that. Seeing as we are celebrating Earth Day, what are you doing with regards to the following areas: solid waste management, waste water management and renewable energy.
Hi Calbayognon!
I have forwarded your comment to the City Mayor and he was glad to receive it. We are pleased to inform you that the LGU has a good number of program through the City Solid Waste Management Office. Among these is one which was made possible through a grant from the Japanese Government (please check my blog archives). The LGU is currently finalizing details on it's plan to phase out T-2 motorcylces in the city. The LGU also tied up with LINAW and USAID for an experimental device aimed at making domestic waste water reusable. The first device has been installed at the SOS children's village (you may check the blog archive for some details)
thanks so much for checking my blog.
